2006 Skoda Fabia 1.9L Diesel · AE06 RYG

The Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 13 February 2026 at 134,859 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, with the vehicle passing cleanly on its last examination. Prior to that pass, the car failed on 12 February 2026 at 134,846 miles, yet the record shows no defects listed against that failure, a pattern repeated exactly one year earlier when it failed on 4 February 2025 at 124,971 miles before passing on 5 February 2025 at 124,984 miles with no advisories. Such back-to-back fail-and-pass entries with no faults logged suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical deterioration. At roughly 20 years old the Fabia shows 134,859 miles, equating to about 6,743 miles per year, which is typical use for its age. The odometer advanced from 117,854 miles at the February 2024 test to 124,984 miles in February 2025, then to 134,859 miles by February 2026, giving annual increments of 7,130 and 9,875 miles. The slight rise in yearly mileage indicates the car remains in regular service rather than sitting idle. The MOT data is sparse, with three passes and two unexplained failures across the last three years and no advisories or corrosion flags recorded at any point. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and mileage, as the clean MOT record does not confirm component condition beneath the advisory threshold. The repeated failure entries with zero defects mean the DVSA log offers no insight into binding calipers, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity, so these must be verified physically. Previous owners appear to have kept the car to a standard that satisfied testers, but the undocumented failures hint at lapsed paperwork or casual test management rather than neglected upkeep.
